Listen to this 'Talk of the Nation' topic

Paul Shirley is not, and likely never will be, a household name... Well, not for his basketball skills anyway. Sure, he's played for some of the top teams in the NBA — the Bulls, the Hawks, the Suns — but he's not Jordan, he's not Wilkins, and he's not Nash. In a way, though, that makes him more interesting... in addition to the aforementioned NBA teams, he's also played in Greece, Spain, and even Siberia. He writes a column for ESPN.com about his journeys called My So-Called Career and now he's got a book, Can I Keep My Jersey? He's seen it all, so ask him all your questions about the life of a professional athlete.
